| Reverse description | Crowned facing bust of Saint Hildegard, foundress of the abbey, depicted within a beaded or linear inner circle. The date 1694 is divided and appears in the outer margin above the bust. The surrounding legend identifies the saint as an imperial foundress descended from the Swabian dukes. The composition reflects the high baroque ecclesiastical portraiture style typical of southern German imperial abbey coinage. |
